Following or friending are user-level features indicating that a Twitter user has subscribed to the updates of another user (i.e. following another user) [1]}. Following users who are not part of one's interpersonal network results in a large amount of novel information. One of the important indicators for calculating the influence score for Twitter users is the \(followers/following\)  ratio. The \(follower/following\)  ratio compares the number of \(u_i\) '\(s\)  subscribers to the number of users \(u_i\)  is following. Users are more interested in updates if the \(follower/following\)  ratio is high [2]}. In our model, we use \(friends\)  as one of the indicators when assigning a social reputation score to a user.
